    So sorry about the fire. My heart goes out to you. I almost cried to see what you had lost. Prayers that you will receive all you need and more to build a new building.

      @Windhill Acres Thanks for letting all of us know about him. I was on the stream when you mentioned it earlier, I actually did cry when I watched this. That's such a huge loss, it's so sad when it happens to good hard working people.

    I got tears in my eyes just listening to Joe. He may not have cried after the fire but it must have broken his heart to see his lifes work all gone..now he has too...I hope his legacy runs on. I will be following this channel from the other side of the world from now on. Thank you Joe I hope you have moved on to another beautiful place 🙏

    Oh my heart is just so broken for you! I’m so so sorry this has happened to you! All your books and seeds and tinctures and all of that hard work…. I’m just gutted for you. I wish I was not living in Oklahoma, I would drive there and help out as much as possible. I will most certainly be donating!!!! Hopefully the love of this community will help you rebuild quickly and you’ll be back on your feet in no time. Love & prayers to you, Joe!

    So sorry this has happened. I don't know that I could be as calm about the loss of my life's work as you appear to be. I have been watching your videos for quite a while now and I hope that you will continue to film as you rebuild. I am donating and encouraging my friends to do so also.

    This made me cry, too, Joe. Thank you for posting this and to those who created it. "You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone," has been playing in my mind. Mountain Gardens and its herbal medicine resource is a treasure, one I relied on for my Chinese medicine practice. Now, without it, not only am I not able to serve my patients in a way that has been part of their healing path for decades, I also feel a loss spiritually. MG sustains me, even when I don't visit. May the phoenix rise! I'm grateful to all who are helping rebuild!

  • @42cubes76
    @42cubes76 2 роки тому +5

    I am so sorry to hear and now see this. It truly is heartbreaking. This home was amazing, and I could really feel it when you said the place is perfect in every way. My goal in life is to have a piece of land very similar to this, but with a treatment center close by. I actually have a folder of screenshots from your vids that I save for ideas when I build my place. And you did all that, absolutely nailed it, and then this. I get sentimental very quick about work and projects especially when you put lots time and actual manual labor into it. Times like this it's not so much about the loss of property but more about the memories built up around them.
    Stay strong, but I know you are.
